About 300m southeast of the junction of the Vale of Glamorgan line with the south Wales main line, on the west side of the VoG track and on the site of Cowbridge Road Sidings, stands a diminutive signal box. Erected in 1965, this British Railways (Western Region) Hut is a single-storey flat-roofed structure; it contains a small IFS (Individual Function Switch) panel.
